TORONTO, Aug. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mega Uranium Ltd.

Insiders of Mega may subscribe for up to $400,000 worth of Units. Agents who arrange for sales of Units to purchasers may receive from Mega a cash finder’s fee equal to 6% of gross proceeds raised from the purchasers and units (having the same terms as the Units) equal to 6% of the Units sold to those purchasers. The cash fee may also be settled in units.

Completion of the Financing is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions, the Financing is anticipated to close in September 2018.

The proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used for general working capital.
